Dr. Lana Ferris

(she/her)

Naturopathic Doctor

Lana Ferris, ND is a naturopathic doctor. She specializes in mental health, eating disorders, and transgender health.  In addition, she especially enjoys working with complex trauma, highly sensitive people, and burnout.

Dr. Lana takes a medical approach that is compassionate and personable, yet evidence based and thorough. As a naturopathic doctor, complex cases are some of Dr Lana’s favorite.  She relishes the process of deciphering the relationship between seemingly unrelated symptoms. 

Her practice is also informed by her core values: reliability, connection, presence, and inclusivity. Reliability means she is dedicated to being responsive to messages and consistent in providing seamless care. Being truly present is something she strives for in every interaction. This ensures that you receive the unwavering attention and support you deserve.

In addition, she values spending time with each patient to develop a true connection. She sees you as a teammate and the expert of your life/body/experience.

She is committed to providing a judgment-free and welcoming space for everyone regardless of race, size, gender identity, sexual orientation, or background.  Moreover, Dr Lana firmly embraces “Health at Every Size” as she understands that well-being transcends a number on a scale.

Lastly, she provides trauma informed care and works  with you to make sure you feel comfortable seeking care for sensitive topics.

Her journey to becoming a Naturopathic Doctor started at Whitworth in Spokane WA for her undergraduate degree. Then she finished at the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) in 2020. Dr Lana completed multiple clinical rotations in mental health, transgender health, and addiction medicine.

Beyond her professional life, she savors quality moments with her husband and daughter in Vancouver WA. You’ll find her hiking, tending to her garden, or reading in her free time.

Dr. Lana accepts Oregon Health Plan and most private insurance.

Originally from Indiana, they now reside in Portland, Oregon with their two rambunctious cats. Tasha enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, learning, and finding new ways to be creative.

 

Professionally, Tasha is trained as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (a type of advanced practice nurse, similar to a Nurse Practitioner), and has been a nurse for over a decade —mostly working with individuals impacted by chronic or complex health conditions. They started in diabetes care and became a Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist, so much of their work has been related to diabetes and nutrition. They also spent many years as a Nurse Navigator helping clients navigate the healthcare system. Their personal health journey, and realization of the huge gaps in available care, led them to shift their professional practice to serve others on similar journeys as their own.

 

Tasha has been told she’s inquisitive and “a very good detective”. Being curious, digging deep, and thinking outside of the box (all while keeping the whole picture in mind) are really her favorite things in this life. Tasha’s style in working with patients is as a consultant & coach. She believes you are the expert in your own self and aims to empower you, provide hope, and help you to use your own innate wisdom to live your best life!

 

Tasha’s goal is to create a safer space for all to receive appropriate healthcare that is affirming & accommodating of individual needs; a space that encourages exploration and self-determination of what wellness & thriving mean in your individual life. They practice from a trauma informed perspective that is neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, disability, & HAES affirming. Tasha is able to order diagnostic tests and prescribe medications, but also works with clients on nervous system safety, nutrition, hydration, gut health, musculoskeletal health & movement, sleep, mental & emotional health, stress management, creating a life they love, finding joy, & more.

 

Tasha is available for telehealth consultations for Oregon Health Plan members and is accepting new patients ages 16 & up. Because all visits are conducted virtually, Tasha does not serve as a Primary Care Provider (PCP).
